nonites, Perfectionists, etc-but in general
1t may be said that modern socialism docs not
claim religious command Charles Fourier,
who was born in 1772 and educated in the
agony Of the French revolution, is often cor
sidercd the parent Of recent socialism, be-
cause he systematized tho floating opinions
AMI presented them In singularly pleasing
style. Since his time socialism has been rec
ognized as a prominent phase of popular agi-
tation, and with it has always gone some
form Of extreme and destructive agitation
Besides portraits of st. Just, Karl Marx and
Charles Fourier, a portrait is also given Of
William Morris, the English poet-manufact-
urer, who has of late years been in tho front
rank of British Socialists. He has tried the
experiment of profit sharing with his work
men to limited extent, but does not believe
it is the key to the situation altogether. He
Is man of refinement and social position.

The exhibition and sale of Mr. Beecher's
personal treasures-his books and pictures
and bric-a-brac-has excited no less interest
perhaps than the exhibition OF Miss Wolfe's
splendid art bequest. But the interest in the
latter has been of quite a different sort. Miss
Wolfe's pictures are valuable for their arts
tic characteristics aside from any interest at
taching to them because of their former
ownership Mr.. Beecher's effects receive
value principally from the fact that they
were his, and are not, as n rule, to be priced
for any other reason. The pictures and stat
uettes arc u most heterogeneous mess, and
it could not well be otherwise For they
were many Of them gifts from simple minded,
admiring Pensioners who SOUGHT by pre-
senting thcn to him to show the love, I'D
rniration and respect they felt for their

as tribune Of the people, was attempting to
enforce it when q riot was excited and he was
slain with 800 Of his followers. Caius Sem
pronius Gracious took up the work where his
brother had left it. After various fortunes
he too was slain, and thereafter things took
their inevitable course. The many grew very
poor, tho few immensely rich. Tho people
had nothing to gain by maintaining the noni-
nal republic, and it soon gave place to the
empire. We might wonder why the Romans
submitted to the atrocities Of Nero and his
kind, but tho explanation is simple: the men
Nero tortured or slew were Of tho patrician
order, men of wealth and luxury. The COM
mon people actually enjoyed the proceedings
They had no fears. 1t is probable that if they
had not believed him guilty of burning Rome,
even the common soldiers would have allowed
Nero to torture and rob tho aristocrats to the
end Of his natural life.
When tho Roman empire had passed away
and Europe was ruled by many dcspots, the
poorer classes had recourse to secret societies,
such as the illuminate and Carbonari. Tai
ented men were often convicted of being hos
tile to the government and sentenced to the
mines; they fraternized with the miners, and
thus that class Of laborers has generally been
tho most thoroughly organized in Europe
communism by religious societies, somo Of
which endure to the present; and soon after
Luthers preaching the German peasants
combined in a demand for lighter burdens.
For answer tho bishop of Wurzburg slaugh-
tered few thousands of his subjects. In
Wurtemberg Duke Uric killed as many
more In 1914 the peasants of Hungary rose,
for which 10000 Of them were slaughtered.
In 1916 the farm laborers of Carinthia were
decimated by the sword In 1924 the great
uprising in central and southern Germany
took place, the peasants demanding equal
rights ON the public lands and many other
reforms which seem quite moderate and
reasonable today. The rulers temporized till
their armies were recruited and plans of
united action agreed upon; then $50, 600 peas
ants were killed and the burdens of the sur
vivors increased. But the activity thus sup
pressed found channels in secret societies. In
these massacres was the seed of many organ
izations which still make Europe uneasy,
and of these the greatest is the Interna-
tional, of which Karl Marx was the great ex-
ponent. This is claimed as their parent or
affiliated society by the Chicago Anarchists.
France began the labor agitation with the
war of tho "Jacquerie" ('jacks" or peas
ants, in which the laborers destroyed 200
castles of tho nobility, for which 10000 peas
ants were slaughtered. But in tho last CEN
fury tho French revolution swept away all
reverence for the ancient systems, and

glad to award the honors. He did not, how
ever, arrange the details of the celebration

roads leading into Charleston werc crowded

Oliver Goldsmith,s Grave.

There is a movement in London to
raise public subscription for the pur-
pose of keeping Goldsmith's grave in the
Temple churchyard in repair. AT pres
ent the grave is covered with plain
slab containing the words, "Here lies
Oliver Goldsmith" together with the
dates of his birth and death. The grave
is visited by numbers of persons daily,
but up to this nobody seems to have
thought of doing anything TO put it into
a decent state of repair.-Home Journal.
